Mule

Interpretation

Mules blend strength with stubbornness. In dreams they caution you about malicious personalities and heavy obligations. Riding a mule suggests a painstaking journey ahead—progress exists, yet the path is slow. A laden mule brings presents or rewards, though they may require effort to earn.

Check the cargo you carry. Adjust expectations, delegate weight, and respect your limits.

Common Meanings

• Leading a mule: Taking responsibility, negotiating resistance, or practicing consistent encouragement
• Being kicked by a mule: Facing backlash, experiencing setbacks, or confronting impatience
• Unloading a mule: Releasing burdens, sharing resources, or completing a demanding task

Cultural Context

Mules have supported travelers and traders for millennia, symbolizing reliability under pressure. Your dream channels this legacy, asking for persistence with compassion toward yourself.
